ZXLD1360EV8 ZXLD1360EV8 user guide issu e 1 3 of 7 12-11-07 ZXLD1360EV8 evaluation board reference design the ZXLD1360EV8 is configured to the reference design in figur e 2. the target application is a driver for torches or other high powered led applications. the operating voltage is a nominal 30v.the nominal current is set at 660ma with a 0.15 sense resistor, r1 and the circuit operates in continuous mode at 30 0khz approximately , with a 33uh inductor. an accurate way of determining the current is to measur e the voltage on the sense resistor. a 10k resistor and a 1uf capacitor can be used to form a low pass filter and the voltage across the capacitor represents a more stable dc reading of current . 100mv represents 1 amp when using a 0.1 ? sense resistor. the adj pin has a low pass filter within the 1360 chip to provide some decoupling and soft a start but the external capacitor c1 (100nf) is used to provide additional dec oupling to reduce any high frequency noise as well as providing an extra amount of soft start. both dc and pwm dimming can be achieved by driving the adj pin. for dc dimming, the adj pin may be driven between 0.3v and 1.25v. driving the adj pin below 0.2v will shutdown the output current. for pwm dimming, an external open-collector npn transistor or open-drain n-ch annel mosfet can be used to drive the adj pin. the pwm frequency can be low, around 100hz to 1khz, or high between 10khz to 50khz. for low frequency pwm c1 should be removed on the evaluation board to give a more accurate duty cycle . shorting r2 will connect the test pin adj to device pin adj if needed. the soft-start time will be nominally 0.5ms without capa citor c1. adding c1 will incr ease the soft start time by approximately 0.5ms/nf for other reference designs or further applications information, please refer to the zxld1360 datasheet. schematic diagram vin v sense zxld 1360 adj lx gnd thermally connected r1 0r15 jp2 c3 1uf l1 33uh d1 led1 q1 d2 c2 2.2uf r4 4k7 r3 1k r5 10 k ntc thermistor c 1 100 nf r2 1k 1 4 5 3 2 vin gnd led k jp1 led a adj figure 2: schematic for the evaluation board ZXLD1360EV8
ZXLD1360EV8 ZXLD1360EV8 user guide issu e 1 4 of 7 12-11-07 zxld1360 operation in normal operation, when voltage is applied at +vin, t he zxld1360 internal ndmos switch is turned on. current starts to flow through sense resistor r1, inductor l1, and th e led. the current ramps up linearly, and the ramp rate is determined by the input voltage +vin and the inductor l1. this rising current produces a voltage ramp across r1. the internal circuit of the zxld1360 senses the voltage across r1 and applies a proportional voltage to the input of the internal comparator. when this voltage reaches an internally set upper th reshold, the ndmos switch is turned off. the inductor current continues to flow through r1, l1, the led and the schottky diode d1, and back to the supply rail, but it decays, with the rate of decay determined by the forward voltage drop of the leds and the schottky diode. this decaying current produces a falling voltage at r1, wh ich is sensed by the zxld1360. a voltage proportional to the sense voltage across r1 is applied at the input of the internal comparator. when this voltage falls to the internally set lower threshold, the ndmos switch is turned on agai n. this switch-on-and-off cycle continues to provide the average led current set by the sense resistor r1. please refer to the datasheets for the threshold limits, zxld1360 internal circuits, electrical characteristics and parameters. to prevent overheating of the led, a 10k thermistor (r5) provides fee dback of the led temperature to the base of q1 which is held at 1.23 volts by d2 r3 and r4 at ambi ent 25c. the emitter is above the adj voltage of the 1360 and so if full current of 1 amp is programmed by the r sense resistor the led current reduces to around 500ma if no additional heat-sinking is provided to the eval board. the voltage on the ad j pin is 800mv approx when the led is hot. this function may be disabled by removing jumper link j7.
